USB Joystick Seen by Vista Host not seen by XP Guest

I've read the help that came with VMBox installer and I have 3.0.4 running on Vista with an XP Home guest setup and operational. I created a filter for my Gravis Destroyer Extreme which Vm finds and lets me point at my XP OS guest. But XP guest never sees or acknowledges the joystick. Device Manager doesn't show the EHCI USB controller mentioned either. What am I missing to get the joystick connect to the guest machine rather than the host?

BobLfoot ,
Probably the easiest way to try to get this going it to enable the usb and usb in the guest settings but not define a filter.
Then when you start the guest you go to the devices tab at the top of the window and click USB and select the device.
If this does not work then you should do as above but ad a blank filter the one with the blue (.)
Then when you start the guest you unplug the device and then plug it back in. At this point it should show up if it is going to work.
